He was one of five babies born during the evacuation who were called the “Kimchi 1-5.” Also known as the Battle of the Chosin Reservoir, it was one of the fiercest battles in the war, and enabled the evacuation of 90,000 Korean refugees from the besieged port of Hungnam in North Korea to Geoje Island in South Gyeongsang Province. Among the refugees were the parents of President Moon Jae-in. / Yonhap
